Whirlpool Hinge Washer WP487576 OEM Part

This Nylon Washer, designed for door hinges, is ideal for use in refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines. It is compatible with brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Moreover, Whirlpool produces this component for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, it fits precisely on refrigerator doors to cushion hinges, reducing wear by absorbing stress and vibration during door use.

Hinge washers can face issues due to prolonged heat or sunlight exposure, which may cause the plastic to harden, or from excessive force when opening doors, potentially resulting in cracks or tears. Over time, their ability to absorb vibrations may decrease as they wear out.

Signs of a deteriorating hinge washer include audible banging when closing the door, increased vibrations affecting nearby cabinetry, accelerated wear of hinge pins due to friction, and washers being loose or missing, impacting the door's stability.

This authentic replacement part is also compatible with select models from KitchenAid, GE, and LG, providing extensive compatibility across various appliance types.
